Theme: The Past

Rules

1. NO STEALING PHOTOS!
Photographs must be taken by Elftowners and posted here by the original photographer. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here. This includes random images from the net too. TAKE YOUR OWN PHOTOS AND DO NOT STEAL THEM FROM OTHERS. THAT'S JUST RUDE.

2. TWO (2) ENTRIES PER PARTICIPANT.

3. YES! FOR PHOTOMANIPULATIONS!
While this is a photograph based competition, we WILL be accepting photomanipulations for this particular contest. Please make sure that all material used for the manipulation is your own. Otherwise it will be removed for copyright infringement.

4. READ THE THEME!
If you stick up a photo just because this is a photo competition, your entry will be removed without warning. ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT MEET THE THEME WILL BE REMOVED.

5. EXPLANATIONS ARE REQUIRED!
When and where the photo was taken is required. We don't need the minutes and seconds, but as close to the actual date of the capture would be good. 

6. ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN!
To upload your image full-size you can use the feature 'Upload a folder of images' that is shown on your house.
This feature allows you to upload one, multiple images or zip-files in their original size to a wiki-page.
<URL:upload_zip.html>
Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.

7. SUBJECT MATTER:
Since the winners will be featured on Mainstreet, images that depict graphic violence, pornography or other disturbing actions will not be accepted. Only photographs that fit the current theme will be allowed.

Special rules

What we want to see is:

The Past: Think of the past. Memories, things that were important but are no longer, things that have become outdated EXC.


Because we are talking about photography here, we are going to need some proof of the genuineness of the submissions.
For each photo entered, you must submit a proof-photo.


Proof-photo
To enter this contest you have to submit a new picture combined with a proof-picture with a Bowl(s) taken during the same photoshoot.
This has two reasons:
- The proof-photo shows that the picture is yours.
- Both pictures have to be new, because we want you to make your entries especially for this theme. The picture should clearly show that you thought about the theme and how you want to reflect this.
You can't have done this before the contest, because you didn't know of it then.

Criteria:
The proof-photo must be a picture of the same scenery/environment, but it has to somehow include a real bowl(s).
If you have used photomanipulation you are also required to submit the unedited photograph! Example:

Cave man dog in home.

Proof-image with bowl.

Photomanipulation
This contest allows a certain amount of photomanipulation to add to the effect of making it look as if one is in the past. Heavy photomanipulation for this contest IS ALLOWED I want to see background changes, creatures, costums and anything else your little brains can possibly come up with! Be creative, and do your best!

Deadline

September 22, 2009


Note:
Ten Photographs will be chosen by the Council and the Assembly among all those presented. Elftown members will choose the two winners through a Mainstreet poll.
